BARBERS-CHAIR ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Iatent No. 436,327, datedSeptember 16, 1890.

Application filed December 24, 1889. Serial No. 334,824. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. ARCHER, of the city of Rochester, countyof Monroe, and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Barbers-Chair Attachments; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My present invention has for its object to provide a childs-seatattachment for barbers, dentists, and similar chairs, whereby a childmay be operated upon without requiring a special high chair for thepurpose, and also whereby the height of said seat maybe readily adjustedas desired; and said invention consists in certain novelties ofconstruction and combinations of parts, all as will be hereinafter fullydescribed, and the novel features pointed out in the claims at the endof this specification.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the applicationof my attachment to a barbers chair; Fig. 2, a longitudinal sectionalview through a chair and attachment; Fig. 3, a rear View of theattachment.

Similar letters of reference in the several figures denote similarparts.

The letter A represents a barbers or dentists chair of ordinary or anypreferred construction, having the usual socket or recess B at the backfor a headrest, and a catch or look C, which cooperates with saidhead-rest when in position and looks it at any desired height.

D represents a childs seat or chair constructed with a back, seat, arms,and, preferably, a foot-rest, and having attached to the upper portionof its back a standard or bar E, having teeth e thereon and adapted topronions E on the upper end of standard E, so that there will be apivotal connection between the standard and seat, and thus, no matterwhat its vertical movements may be, permit it to rest evenly against theback of chair A, even though the upholstering of the lower portion ofthe back of the latter may project forward.

secured in position by other means than av catch 0, the standard E couldbe made to conform to that of the head-rest and fastened in position bythe means employed to hold said rest.

I do not claim, broadly, a childs-seat attachment adapted to besuspended from the back of a supporting chair, as this is not myinvention.

I claim as my invention- 1. An attachment for barbers or similar chairs,consisting of a childs seat having a standard or bar pivotally attachedto its up per portion, adapted to enter the head-rest socket in saidchair, substantially as described.

2. An attachment for barbers or similar chairs, consisting of a childsseat having a standard or bar attached to its upper portion withratchet-teeth thereon and adapted to enter the head-rest socket in saidchair, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with a barbers or similar chair having a head-restsocket and a catch located at one side thereof, of an attachmenttherefor consisting of a childs seat having a standard or bar attachedto its upper portion, and provided with ratchet-teeth,

with which the catch co-operates, substan tially as described.
